PAKE THREE.

The total depravity of inanimate things haw been proved, defined, catalogued, and accepted.

Mr. Good heart, in his study the other day, had written an article for one of the public print*—an article covering Ave pages of nmnilla paper. When ho had reached tho end he began to read It over. Page one was all right, Pago two required a slight interlineation, and—where was page three? Every piece of paper on the desk was scanned and—where was pa#® threo? "Strange," said Mr, (ioodneart, unruled, but perplexed.

He looked upon the lloor. into the waste basket under tho rug. "Well, well," he said.

He searched behind tho clock, under the chair cushions, between the curtains, behind the paintings on the waJJ. •'I vum," he remarked, and was a littie irritated, just a little.

He sat down to think. Ho tried to think perfectly calmly. Had anybody W*en in the roomP Yes Mrs. Goodheart had come in mid softly kisted iiim and gently stroked his silvery hair, as win her wont be lore going from tho house. '•Maud," said Mr. Goodheart to his daughter, has mother gone out?" '•Yes, papa to market" answered thoyouug lady from the foot of the •tail's.

Mr, Good heart concluded that his wife had taken pngo three with her, "Yet," ho thought "it is so unlike her to take any thing from my desk."

When Mrs. Ooodheni't returned she said she had taken nothing, and she was very, very sorry he had lost anything. «\i? might have become entangled in the fringe of your shawl," he said. ••It might" she answered, "but I do not think it did. 1 am sure I should have noticed it and-—" "But my dear wife*'—when Mr. »hh1 heart speaks iu that tone he is controlling himself—"you were tho only person who came in here and p»sr« three is &»ne." "iliere was a terrible logic behind tfcese t«o clause*. One was a major pnttntae. ant the other a minor. A syiiogysm t»eemod to complete itself with a t-uuvlttotou that Mr& (oodJicarl was the only person who could have taken pa so throe. "Have you looked in your pockets?" •heiwk«df»l«iJy but huj**fii!iy\ Vo» »n£ht have put it in there. ••My darling wife." he answered— f»nd, the more the epithets of affection Improved the more ponetrating his eye became—"My darling wife, that is absurd. Of course I would not pat it into my pocket"

JShe began to open his coat, 1 tell you it is ridiculous to sop» p&se I would nut it into my pocket"

But she took from his inner breast recess all the paoer* it contained. «'l suppose you will not be assured.** •aid he, "unices I turn alt coy pockets wrong aide out** which, with terrible irony, he proceeded to do. making the inest exirtwaganUy minute inspeotiens.

asked, smoothing down his hair. "No I have rewritten it—after a fashion. The article isspoilde, though. I might as well throw the' blamed thing in the fire, It has ruined this day for me, and I meant to do so much, and felt so much like doing It!" "There, there," she said soothingly "perhaps it is all for the besst." ••Humph!" You know that halfsnorting sound man makes when he wants toexpress'*Bomcthing between incredulity and disgust.

Mrs. (Joodheart gathered up the pages—one, two, three, four, live. "They are ail right now," said she, and, folding them, perceived there was writing on both sides of the last sheet "I thought you always wrote on only one side of the paper," she said. "So 1 do." •H)h! Then this is nothing useful on the hack of this sheets"

Mr. (ioodheart looked, ll was page threo, the original ago three. The explanation was very, very simple. The totally depraved sheet of paper had turned itself upside down and Mr. Good heart had written page live on the back of page three. Mr. Goodbeart saw it all, aud said with awful deliberation: "Well, 1—will—bo "Tut tut tut" said Mrs. Goodheart. with that iirmness that always calls a man back to himself, "You must not and you shall not swear."

In the street car, coming downtown, Mr, Good heart road the article twico—once with the original page three and once with the other. "After all," he said to himself, "I think perhaps "the rewritten page is the better of the two," and ho drew his pencil and obliterated the original page three, while over his mind there hovered a vague, shadowy suggestion for he was opitmistic now—that possibly there is a great and good purpose in even the total depravity of Inanimate things.

A man six feet high, straight as an *rrow, jet black hair and piercing dark eyes, with rather a stern countenances that changes into an attractive one"when ho smiles, is Thomas B. Jones of Montgomery, who was elected Governor of Alabama the othor day. The Govornor-eleut can certainly lay claim to being a very handsome man, and though his years aro live-and-forty he doesn't look that old by half a decade. An intorealing episode of his recent visit to Washington was the meeting between him aud Senator Daniel of Virginia, The two wore schoolboys together and both served in the Confederate army, the Virginian on Early's staff, his frioud on Gordon's. At the battle of tho W ilderness Daniel was shot down severely wounded, and Jones helped to hear him from the field.' Their meeting was for the iirst'time since the storihy days of internecine strife, and it can well be imagined how pleased thoy were to

"1 shall never forget" said the Governor, "one incident connected with a visit to Washington.

Standing in tho National hotel remarked to a friend that hated to leave ihe city without seeing the President.

It was but a little way. or her father would not have thought of her going. The scroening wood, along whose edge Uie hushesgrew, sheltered her from the sun The berries were large and ripe, and despite the fact that many a one found its way to her rosy mouth, in an hour she bad her pail half full. Then an unlooked for' interruption occurred. First Mattie was startled by a crashing, rushing sound, ao then still more so t- see a large bear emerge from a dense thickei- close at haud. and come towards her. She shook her apron vigorously and said "shoo, shoo.'' But the bear growled as though to say. "You aro altogether to small a child to ratik 4 any Impression on me"

Mattie wat frightened, for though sh had nevu*' seen any bears she had ofteu heard of them and knew at once what this was. She too, was very indignant tin:*, bruin paid no attention to her proto.«t and picking tip a thick sticic »he hit him a resoundiug whack over the head. At this the bear gave a still more vigorous growl, as though remarking: "Thi» thing lias gono far enough," and soking her dre?w began, notwithstanding her struyglet to draw her toward the woods.

Now* Mattie was frightened. 1he screamed loudly for heip, though her father as she realized with a feeling of helpless terror, was in tho meadow'beyond tho woods, far out of hearing. Yet her cry reached one ear. that of old Bruno, who, during her berrying, had been engaged in the endeavor to dig out a wood-chuck. Uttcringaloud bark, he rushed to her side and seemed at once with doggish sagacity to grasp the situation, fof he immediately pounced on the bear in tnc rear to divert his attention and com el him to drop^he child. Bruno's tocta were sharp and strong, and as they fixed themselves, in the bear he was clad to loosen his hold on Mattie and turn on his assailant A sharp fight followed, Bruno attacking with great fury as though to give Mattie a chance to escape to the house.

She improved the chance, her berries were dropped mid forgotten, her dress torn by the bear's hold, and her sunbonnet hanging down her back, she Hew as fast as her small feet would carry her toward the s*fe shelter of the house. At the seared it she saw a man she kae« passing along the road but a few yards distant "Mr. Gray, Oh.

MATTIE'S' AD.VE.NTURE.

There wore some of tbe neighbors who thought it was hardly a prudent thing for o-yoar-old Mattie Craig to live alone with her father on his farm in l'ox Hollow, a pleasant nook in the CatskiU mountains, lint Mr. Craig felt lh*a hi.r» horn would be desolate indeed without u.s littie daughter, espei jal'.y now his wiio had been takeu from linn: aui! as for Mattie. aside ii oa tho fact that she was a fearless. litUu. tluug. it was certain that 6ho never would be happy away from her father. "Be .ides." ts Mr. Craig would say if the subject was mentioned. "I n:n never gone from home long at a Liuui, jmd when" I am away I'm no is aivvjiyi there, and lie will protect her us well us a person.'' And no one who saw the great dog with his intelligent eyes and his devotion to his little mistress could doubt the truth ol this assertion.

It was early on an August morning, whiie Mr. Craig was iretting ready to go to the hayfieid. he *aid to his littie gir.V "Alattitf, as I was coming home last night I saw that the blackberries were ripe on the bushe.s this side of the woods. Would you like to go out and pick some?" Of course Mattie was delighted with the proposal, and her father feeling that he ba.i provided his daughter with amusement atfd occupation for the forenoon, having charged her not to go out of sight of tho house or into the woods, kissed her, mounted nis hay wagon and rode away. Mattie tied on her sun-bonnet and taking a large dinner paii started off, holding her head very high with the sense o." her importance in thai she was going to pick berries for "Papa's dinner."

and he himself so exhausted by the encounter that be was unable to stand. When he saw them, however, bo lifted his head with a weak though joytul oark, and wageed his tail, as much as to say, "I saved Mattie, anyway'"

That evening, as Mr. C'raig sat with Mattie on his knee, and his faithful old dog whose wounds had h««en dressed and whose appetite had been tempted by the best the bouse afforded, lying close by his side, he said to the group of neighbors who had dropped in to discuss the exciting scene of the day. "I tell you what it is, there isn't money enough to-night in ail the Catskill to buy Bruno."

And Mattie, who had repeated her story and been petted and caressed till she felt herself a Decided heroine, as she nestled against her father's arm, reached down and patted Bruno's shaygy head and said earnestly, "Ho was the best old doggie in the world. He wouldn't let the big bad old bear eat me up." JsX j'*1 —:—-—mf:

New U«es of LlTe InaarRnee. New York and Brooklyn Koman Catholic-churches are taking out endowment insurance policies up&n the lives of young men. the premiums to be paid by the churches, which are to receive the money when the policies mature. One examiner in Brooklyn recently examined six young men whose lives are to be insured for sums ranging from $5,000 to $10,000, and whose policies were made out in favor of the church, itisrelutel that three men comprising a Brooklyn business llrm each took out a policy for $10,000 in favor of the other two. the firm to pay all premiums. The policies had twenty years to run, and, if ail the subjects livo, the money then realized is to be placed to the firm's credit If one dies before the expiration ot the term tho amount of his policy is to go to the remaining members to recompense the firm for the loss of the dead man's services, and his share of the firm's asiets, which, of course, go to the heirs of the dead partner,

That is rather a startling experiment which is being carried on by Miss Alii Trygg, a young Finnish woman, who, according to a London weekly, is devoting her life to improving the condition of the working class in Finland. Sho began with a workman's kitchen, where he can get his daily meals, wholesome and appetizing, at a nominal expense. Attached to this is a reading room. Both schemes have been successful and Miss Trygg's next move—and this is the startling one—was to start a brewery! The ale brewed, it is stated, is of a "light non-intoxicating character." The popularity of this scheme is also attested, for already the young brewer employs 900 mon in her malt ""Vforlss and b^er cellars. ""Vi' _s. •t" Merely Inquiring.
